Will you sponsor me?

Many orphans are currently waiting for a sponsor. Some of these children will go to bed tonight
without any food to eat and no one to tuck them in. Your monthly commitment will help us provide food, a home, and Hope to one more child.

Take a Tour of the Hope Center (Video)

Please take a moment to look at the orphanage through the eyes of Justin, one
of our college interns, who spent the summer at the Hope Centre.

Karibu pronounced CARE eee boo

Karibu means "You're Welcome" in the Luo Language, BUT when repeated 3 times in rapid succession by an intern,
it means "I don't have a clue what you are saying".
That is almost always followed by howls of laughter from the kids. It's amazing the bonds and 'Secret Language' that
develops as you spend time with these kids.

Help us build a school

Imagine schools made from sticks, mud and corrugated steel. Imagine one teacher for every 55 students and sitting on the floor because
there aren't enough desks. Imagine three students sharing a desk and textbook because there aren't enough to go around. Imagine languishing in a classroom,
in some cases, for most of the day without a teacher to offer instruction.

It's hard to imagine because it's so far from the American norm, but it's the reality that our children face. Our eager students occupy teacher-less
classrooms for hours each day with no textbooks and no assignments. They are deprived of the cognitive stimulation and critical thinking skills that are the
foundation of scholastic achievement.

Our vision is to open a school at The Hope Center, primarily staffed by qualified Kenyan teachers with capable American oversight. We would ensure a low student/teacher
ratio and provide accountability for teacher attendance and performance. The school would offer sufficient access to textbooks, manipulatives, and other teaching
tools absent from our village schools.

If you're interested in learning more about our vision for the school, would like to hold a fund-raiser to benefit the school, or know of a corporate entity
that might have an interest in providing a grant, please contact us.
